There is this strange idea, that if we understand the facts or science behind how something works, we will lose our sense of wonder. But this has never felt true for me, understanding prisms doesn’t take away the beauty of a rainbow, understanding evolution doesn’t negate the miracle of our existence. The Universe is a magical place, and the more I learn, the more my wonder deepens.
Too many artists perceived the world in us vs them terms. Art or science. Too this I say: da Vinci. He considered himself an engineer, not an artist but married both in a fascinating way.
(Educated in fine arts myself, but damn if I don’t love science, logic and even a good snippet of code every now and then)
Da Vinci is a great example. There is science in art, and art in science.
And there is art in fart
You can’t spell fart without it!
Science 1, art 0.
